The Fisheries Commission.

The selection of President James B.
Angel of Michigan University as mem
Der of the new fisheries commission, is
generally approved Mr.. Angel is fifty
eight years old. He was editor of the
Providence journal for a dozen or fifteen
years. Then he came to Burlington to be
president of the university and held the
Office with an ability and success which
became widely recognized and in 1871 he
was called to the presidency of the great
University of Michigan. In 1880 President
Hayes selected him for delicate diplo-
matte duty In view of the growing de
mand, expressed in legislation, for
check upon the Mongolian invasion Of
the United States, the president desired
to satisfy popular feeling in this country
in manner that should not violate the
faith of the government already pledged
to the celestial empire, nor prejudice the
commercial relations between the two
countries. He therefore appointed
three commissioners to visit Pekin
and enter upon negotiations to this
effect. Professor Angel was made
minister to China and head of the
commission, and SO effectively was the
work performed that when Congress as
embled in December, two treates--one
relating to emigration and the other to
clmmerce-were submitted to the Senate
| for the necessary ratification which they
/ duly received. Professor Angel remained
in China until 1882, when he resigned and
| returned to America. His high character
Intellectual gifts and culture, and remark
able tact, qualify him for diplomatic work.
The other commissioner, Mr.. Putnam,
was born in Boston about fiftysiX years
ago, and graduated from Bowdoin col
lege III september, 1867. After leavin.. col
lege he studied law and has been in praJt ice
for more than quarter of 4 century. He
was once appointed Judge of the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts but declined
the honor. He is an independent
democrat. Mr.. Chamberlain, the Eng
fish member Of the commission
in a speech in London, last week, said thai
he felt that an opportunity was afforded
him OF rendering important services to
the three great speaking com
munities. He did not believe that differ
ences could possibly arise between two
such nations which could not be honorably
and amcably settled. He added
England is almost an impartial observer
She is not directly or Immediately con
cerned in the controversy, though her in
terests and principles of honor demand
that she support Canada in Il fair and
reasonable presentment of her claims.
. We granted Canada a constitution, max
ing her an independent State, save in one
respect. We reserved control of her fol-
} eign policy Therefore, we are bound IL
see that the last link that binds Canada
to England is not weakened and severed
{ as it easily might be by our neglect of Can
ada's interests or Indifference to her just
rights.
What can be accomplished by this con-
mission remains to be seen. No agree
meut which it may arrive at will be bind
ing on either government But it can
ascertain facts, and perhaps suggest q
!. method of settlement Of the existing con
: troversy which the two governments may
be willing to accept.

In compliance with a long considered
desire the price of the Weekly FREE
PgKss is reduced to ONE DoLLAH A YEAR.
It is needless to state the causes leading
to this reduction; everybody knows the
tendency of the times The FREE PRESS
has by engagements and Improvements
faithfully kept up with the times, and
has tried in all ways to give its readers
their moneys worth. Its subscription
list is evidence of the fact that its efforts
have been appreciated. But the time has
came when the FREE PRESS wishes to
roach larger constituency than it has
ever reached before. To accomplish this
reduction to the popular Weekly price
seemed to be necessary A reduction is
accordingly made-the largest and most
important ever made by Vermont news.
paper.
The quality OF the FREE PRESS is such
that we firmly believe the new price will
bring a great many new subscribers.
All subscribers who have paid in ad
vance will get the same benefit from the
reduction as new ones. Each SubScrip-
ton aUiLl be dduOnccd from the present
date to correspond lctth the reduction in
price Therefore the number Of papers
now due to subscribers will be doubled.
That is, those to whom one, two, three,
four or more weeks subscription are now
due will be credited with just double the
number of papers they would be entitled
TO at the old price. Subscriptions which
would expire November will not expire
till December and subscriptions which
would have expired December will be
continued to February l and so on. Each
subscriber getting crdctly tlDice as many
papers as tUerc due to him October l..
We trust our subscribers will appreciate
this great reduction and assist us in max
ing up the loss.
